ZeusSummon-onlyKeraunos lowers Elec affinity and ignores counters/death prevention; its revive seal helps against Samael’s Elec weakness. The Physical damage type can also avoid Magic-only retaliation.
Setup: Build accuracy as well as PATK.
Kiwami/Samael
Samael (November/December 2020)
Overview[edit]
- Get ready for an annoying battle
- Pack up your T1 phys teams, they are useless in this fight
- This Kiwami has no "preparation" wave, it goes straight to the main course
- There are two comp that can reasonably cheese this Kiwami
- The gimmick of this Kiwami is that Samael will heal everyone with Salvation+, so this fight can become extremely long and arduous
- One of the best counter to this is using Black Rider, and let him punish the enemies with Soul Divide each time they heal
- If don't have Aniel or Black Rider:
- You'll need a mix of ailment immunity/cleansing, healing/buff control, and (elec) damage to overcome this battle
- Demons like Daisoujou, Anat, Thor, P2 Tokisada, Barong/Lakshmi A are demons you should take into consideration
Encounter[edit]
Wave 1:
Difficulty AVery hardEditorial estimate
Challenge-specific boss skills, status pressure and powerful counters require a purpose-built team.
Recommended demonsKit-based options · reviewed 14 Oct 2026
Salvation+ constantly heals the enemy team. Bring Elec damage, ailment control and a way to punish or reduce the healing rather than a simple T1 Phys team.
ZeusSummon-only
Black RiderSummon-onlySoul Divide reacts to enemy HP-healing skills, so Samael’s Salvation+ becomes a source of fractional damage rather than a free recovery cycle.
Setup: Use beside a direct damage dealer; fractional damage alone is not a reliable finish.
DaisoujouSummon / multifusionHis own ailment immunity lets him lead with Cleansing Shout against God’s Malice ailments. This restores the party’s ability to act, removes debuffs and recovers MP without an HP-healing effect.
Setup: Put him first in action order.
Choose complementary roles from demons you own. These are matchup suggestions, not a verified automatic-clear team.

BarongAlternativeKit-based options; tested clears remain in the guide’s team section.
Prefer Elec damage and cleansing over a pure physical burst. Enemy healing prolongs the encounter, making buff control and sustained MP important.
Earlier recommended alternatives
ZeusBanner exclusiveBanner: Elec weakness engine
Elec affinity reduction and weakness chains offer sustained damage and extra-turn support against a boss whose healing otherwise drags the fight out.
Needs: Build PATK/accuracy and pair him with reliable cleansing and recovery.
Watch for: Accuracy matters for physical Elec attacks. Do not trade away the cleanser to fit another carry.
Earlier recommended alternatives
MushussuBanner exclusiveBanner: Elec + MP/Bulwark
Roar of Sirrush combines targeted Elec damage, party MP and a large Bulwark, providing both pressure and survival support.
Needs: Build MATK/MP efficiency; keep ailment recovery available elsewhere.
Watch for: Bulwark can improve survival but does not establish permanent ailment immunity.
Earlier recommended alternatives
Black RiderAlternativeHealing punishment
Soul Divide punishes Samael’s repeated healing; it cannot finish the boss by itself.
Earlier recommended alternatives
DaisoujouAlternativeAilment control
Keeps the team acting after God’s Malice. Maintain MP for the cleanser rather than spending it on low-value attacks.
Earlier recommended alternatives
ThorAlternativeAccessible Elec boss damage
Mjolnir gives focused Elec damage; skill levels and panels improve repeatable casts.
Earlier recommended alternatives
BarongAlternativeAccessible sustain
Repeatable healing/buffs support the long fight. Lakshmi A is a banner recovery alternative.

- Use Eileen for Lucky Skips
- Dai cleanses, Barong heals and buffs, Anat does Elec AOE and Tarunda, Toki gets rid of the adds
- After killing the adds you're almost in the clear, as long as Samael doesn't God's Malice one demon twice in a row and kills them
